Click Here for SmartBoard Resources

Go to www.smarttech.com for great information. I just discovered these Two minute tutorials that are great for answering questions you didn't even know you had.

Need the SmartBoard sofware? It's free. Go to smarttech.com and click on software downloads. Keep in mind, the download will take about 20 minutes because of all of the gallery resources.
